Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

jamesgandrew A killer kidnaps women from the streets of Venice and brings them to his underground lair where he kills and embalms them. Meanwhile an investigator is on the case and a new group of women have arrived at the city.The Embalmer is an Italian horror movie horribly dubbed in English, although the audio quality was much better than when I watched it on TV. It's by no means a good movie but it wasn't as horrible as I remember it being. There are some interesting camera angles and moments of suspense that are alright and I can see what the filmmakers were trying to achieve. However, like most movies of its time there are slow moments that don't really go anywhere. The movie is roughly 77 minutes and it goes at a decent pace, well compared to other schlock I've seen.

rodrig58 ...Except that the embalming scene is absolutely the same, repeated with different women, the guy always with his back facing us, to not be able to see his face, and then the exaggerated end, the rest is watchable if you do not have another better movie to watch. Unknown actors which are not quite bad. The scene with the guitar singer coming out of a coffin is the most successful moment of the movie.

wes-connors "Women are disappearing amid the beauty of Venice, Italy, where a killer snatches his victims off the canals and streets to whisk them to his subterranean chamber. Once there, the killer embalms his victims to preserve them in a personal display of his crimes. A journalist is drawn to the disappearances and decides to investigate them," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis. "The Embalmer" wastes a good horror movie setting; for example, "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" would feel at home in Venice. A singer named Jti Janne appears, looking like Elvis Presley; alas, he does not sing "No More (La Paloma)". This movie may make you feel as if you are being embalmed.** Il mostro di Venezia (11/8/65) Dino Tavella ~ Luigi Martocci, Maureen Brown, Anita Todesco

HEFILM This film predates Amsterdammned as a film with a scuba suit wearing psycho killer. Problem with scuba suits is that you can't move around well on land in them. That is no problem for this killer since many of his victims seem to literally walk right into his arms.The series of killings, part of this film is the weak section, but the lair of the killer (which I won't spoil by telling what it is) final reel is worth the wait. Everything improves including the music during the final reel and when it's all over you'll feel better about the whole film than you will during parts in the middle. Most of the best images in the film are from that final 10 minutes but there are definitely some you'll remember.Comedy intentional and unintentional also helps keep the film going. At least the American print I saw has almost no on screen violence, other than the macabre chase at the end. Dubbing is pretty poor but that goes with the territory.A restoration of the original Italian version would be a great improvement I'm sure. Fans of films set in Venice will want to give this a look. Too bad the budget couldn't allow for any underwater photography that would have helped the early sections a great deal. All I'll say about the killer's identity is that in some Giallos the revelation is one of those, who was that guy again? In some Giallos that's the way it is.
